I apologize to the centaurs group, as you were not in this episode, but you will for sure, definetely, be in the next one! That's a promise!
And now, without further ado, here is Episode 3!

About this creation

Euaristos, Kringos, Galbatorix, and Thesticles are trapped under a massive rockslide of stone!
Nuada has come back from the ship carrying shovels and pickaxes.
Quimera's undead skeleton is trying to remove the stone, but his efforts alone are not enough.
Quimera raises his arms,
And out of the ground comes another skeletal warrior!
The two skeletons take their tools, and get to work.
Noramus joins them with a shovel.
Soon the three of them are hacking away at the rocks.
Zeono inspects the ground. "Hmmmm... The ground is too solid to dig any holes... We must find another way to get them out!"
Soon Noramus and the skeletons have cleared away enough rocks to make a tiny hole.
But it still is not enough.
Quimera raises his hands one more time.
And out of the earth crawls yet another undead warrior!
It too, gets to work hacking away at the rocks.
Soon it is noticeable that the hole is gradually widening, but it will still take some time to clear away.
Meanwhile, in the dark damp cave...
Galbatorix is praying to Ares to come rescue them.
Kringos is vainly trying to use his power with water to shift the rocks.

It only moves a small amount, but it is still progress.
Back aboveground, Nuada, Arigarn, and Glorfilion are scouting around the cliff.
Suddenly they are swarmed by spiders, snakes, and scorpions!
Arigarn charges into the midst of them, slashing and swinging with his axe.

Nuada and Glorfilion fire arrows at the creatures, pinning them to the ground.
Soon all the creatures are either dead, or are fleeing into the forest. Arigarn: "The forest is probably teeming with these creatures, we must head back to camp."
Meanwhile, the diggers have managed to shift a bit more rock.
Kringos is still using his water power.
But then, a rumbling starts, and the whole cave starts to shake! All ove the diggin and shifting of the rocks has caused the cave to begin to collapse!
Huge chunks of rocks begin to fall from the roof of the cave,

Thesticles: "The entrance is open! We must make haste!"

Kringos: "Into the boat! Hurry!"
The Demigods hurried into the boat, raising their shields to protect them.
One particularly large stone hit Thesticles on the head with such force,
It toppled him of the boat, and into the river!
Galbatorix scrambled to the back of the boat, and tried in vain to fetch his companion from the dark waters.
Kringos: "Leave him my friend, it is too late. If we try to rescue him we all will die!" Galbatorix reluctantly retreated back into the boat.
Euaristos: "Shield yourselves!"
*RUMMBLLE*
Suddenly the rumbling stopped! The Demigods looked around, all the rocks where gone, and the rock above had vanished!
Suddenly the Demigods let out a surprised gasp!
Ares: "I have answered your prayers my son, and I have come to rescue you! And I have brought your friend. Zeus would not have been pleased if I had let his son die!"
Galbatorix: "Thesticles! You're alive!"
Thesticles: "You must thank your father my friend, for I am forever in his debt."
Demigods: "Thank you Lord Ares! We are eternally grateful!"
Ares: "I must go soon, Zeus has allowed me to leave the battle for only a short time, to rescue my son and his companions."
Back on the cliff, the Demigods notice that the rock has gone, yet their companions are nowhere to be seen!
Quimera dismisses his undead minions.

At last the boat comes out of the cave!

Zeono: "What?..The rocks...How?!"
Ares: "Young Demigods, your Lord Ares has rescued your friends, for you must continue your Quest to destroy Cronus and his Titans!"
The Demigods bowed in respect.
Galbatorix: "Thank you father!"
Ares: "I have not forgotten you my son."
"As a gift for remembering the Gods even in times of crisis, I give you this shield, bearing the emblem of your Lord Ares. The mere sight of it will strike fear into your enemies hearts!
Galbatorix: "Thank you father!"
Ares: "Now I must go. Farewell young Demigods, may the Gods be with you!"
Then there was a blinding flash of light!
And Ares was gone.
Arigarn: "I have had enough of this accursed island, let us take the gold, and be off!"
The Demigods retrieve the gold from the cave, this time without incident. This is all the gold you Demigods have.

The Demigods load all of the gold onto Riptide.
The Demigods are now on their way back to Athens!

(Sorry, no choices for this one!)

Meanwhile, just outside of Athens...
The bandits moved in closer.
Bandit leader: "Hand it over, or feel our blades!"
Mnemosyne: "Ha! You will feel OUR blades far more swifter than we would feel yours!"
Leader: "If that is your choice, than so be it."
Leader: "Charge!"
"Yaarrghh!"
One bandit hurled himself at Aetos,
Knocking him to the ground!
Bandit: *snort* "You are no match for our skill!"
*THUNK!*

Quinlan: "Need any help my friend? You owe me one!"
Aetos: *grumble grumble* "I could've had him, if you had just given me another minute..."
He then jumped back onto his horse.
One bandit wielding a spear charged at Aetos!
He unstrapped his shield...
*THOK!*

The leader charged forward at Mnemosyne.
Her horse reared up, and kicked the leader in the chest!
In a split-second, the leader was pinned on the ground, underneath the horse's hooves.
Meanwhile, an axeman and an archer lunged at Quinlan!
The archer fired volley after volley of arrows...
Yet Quinlan kept deflecting then away with his staff.
He then jumped off his horse, hoping to engage them directly.
Then the axeman charged!
Quinlan easily sidestepped, and brought his staff down right on the bandit's skull! *THWACK!*
He fell to the ground unconscious.
The archer jumped up, poising his crossbow ready to fire!
He took aim...
Quinlan slowly raised his hands in the air in surrender...
Then out of nowhere Aetos charged forward on his horse, and thrust his spear into the bandit's gut!
He fell to the ground, almost in half.
Quinlan: "Thank you my friend! I guess now we are even!"
Aetos: "Come now, let us rid the woods of this filth!"
Mnemosyne galloped at full speed towards the last bandit...
And with one swift move,
Beheaded him!
Now the Demigods dragged the two survivors over: The leader, and the archer. Both are unconscious.
Aetos: "We should kill them now and get it over with!"
Mnemosyne: "No, they are no danger now. We must tie them to the tree, and gag them, somebody will be bound to find them, and will bring them to be judged."
As Quinlan began to drag them, the archer began to stir....
*THWACK!* He then slipped back into unconsciousness.
Soon they had them both tied to the tree, and gagged.
They mounted their horses.
Then the Demigods continued on their way, still searching for the creatures of the forest.
A few minutes later, as they were traveling through a small clearing,
Aetos began to sway back and forth,
And toppled off his horse!

Quinlan and Mnemosyne rushed to aid him, and noticed a stain of blood on his back! Quinlan: "He must have been injured during the fighting, and didn't tell us!"
Aetos vision went blurry...
And then all was blackness.

What will you choose to do?

Back in Camp Demigod, the Camp is under attack!
Link is dead, murdered by a Scythian Dracaena!
Karbol raised his staff...
And slamed it on the ground, sending a rumble throughout the camp!
The Dracaena shuddered...
And then the magic of Hades turned her into ash!
The Minotaur lunged towards Karbol, seething with rage!
Yet it did not notice Bane quietly sneaking up behind it...
The Minotaur raised it's axe, ready to deliver the death blow...
Bane mustered all his strength...
And his knife thudded into it's throat!
It crashed to the ground, it's blood mingling with Link's shuddered it's last breath, and was still.
Karbol then collapsed from exhaustion!
Up above, the Drakon lunged towards Semperi, letting loose a horrendous roar!
Simperi simply grinned, and worked his magic...
Then there was a bright flash!
And there, crouching on the wall, was the Drakon! Semperi's magic had reversed it's lifeline, and now it was just a tiny newborn!
Semperi: "One should never challenge the power of Hecate!"
Over by the forge, Patroclus stared in disbelief at the rubble. "All my work...Gone! You will pay for this!"
Yaarrrghhhhhh!
The giant crashed to the ground, burning to a cinder!
The Camp is safe for now, but it is now up to four Demigods to defend this place: Semperi,
Bane,
Patroclus,
And Karbol.

What will you do?

Alright then choices can only be made for the forest group, and the group at the camp. Once again, you all have free range choices, so be inventive!
For those who have not yet been in any other episodes besides the Premiere, you will most assuredly be in the next one! (Best for last, hehe!)
Make your choices by July 10th, or I will be forced to kill you off!

Wow Caleb another great chapter, it's going smooth and fun. Once again, loved Quimera's part and praise you for Galbatorix and his awesome costume & weapons, specially the sword holder on his back. But everyone else looks very RPG-game-like too, marvelous. On side note, in Quinlan's dialogue in the forest, it reads Quimera during his speech (Quimera: "Thank you my friend! I guess now we are even!"). Can't wait for the next one, but I imagine this is taking you a lot of time and work! Thanks for this man!

What the... I had commented on this today but it's gone. So here it goes again: Another great episode, it's going smooth and fun. Once again loved Quimera's part and praise you for Galbatorix and his awesome costume & weapons, particularly the sword holder. Can't wait for the next one, but I can only start to imagine the time and effort this is taking you, so many thanks for doing this. ~Cheers

Actually is did appear, it must just not show up for you. The deadline for choosing for the next episode is tomorrow, so tomorrow I'll start working on the episode. As for the time and effort, It does take some effort, what with switching sets and all, but the time isn't that bad. Only about a day or two, if I'm working on it non-stop!
Thanks!

Seeing as I am a daughter of Apollo, the god of medicine, I have a knowledge of healing. I choose to venture into the woods to find some herbs that will heal our fallen comrade. Amazing episode by the way!

Awesome episode, very mysterious! I'll choose to repair most of the walls before any other creatures come.

Great episode! Looks like my character made the right choice and was rewarded with a shield of ares! Also since we have no choices for the next episode does that mean we will not be in the next episode because we are sailing back home on the ship?

No, you will be in the next episode, it's just that there are no choices for your group.

Please don't stop this series. I have seen so many ended series ever since I made the first CYOA. This potential, so keep working on it. And another thing, try to make the episodes 90 pictures. I find that is short enough for people to read, and longe enough to have a lot in it.
